Thanks for the reply and valid points. But I didn't say they should deplete the endowments; I'm saying that they are already garnering significant income from them (if they're large and invested competently).

And I still won't excuse raising tuitions sky-high "just because." And while I don't know the economics of athletic programs, screwing students while building three stadiums in a couple of decades isn't a good look.
